BLAKELOCK COLLAPSIBLE AUXILIARY SEAT Filed Oct. 28, 1952 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 9 24 'q Z J Inuenlor Patented June 13, 1933 UNITE STATES EDEN BLAKELOC'K, OF CATSKILL, NEW YORK COLLAPSILBLE AUXILIARY SEAT Application filed October 28, 1932. Serial No. 640,119.

The present invention relates to a childs collapsible chair for use in connection with seat or chair backs, but more particularly in connection with seat backs of automobiles,

5 and the invention has for its object to provide in a manner as hereinafter set forth a childs collapsible chair capable of being readily at tached in extended position to a seat back for suspension from the latter and further capa- 19 ble of being folded in a compact manner for storage when occasion requires. 7

Another important object of the invention resides in the/provision of a collapsible seat or chair of this nature which is exceedingly 15 simple in its construction, inexpensive to manufacture, easy to manipulate, thoroughly efficient and reliable in use and otherwise well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed.

With the above and numerous other objects in view as'will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the seat in extended position showing the same in use.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the seat in folded position.

Figure 3 is a perspective view of a prop.

Figure 4 is a perspective view of a hinge bracket.

Figure 5 is a perspective view of an arm 35 rest rod.

Referring to the drawings in detail it will be seen that numerals 5 denote elongated flat like longitudinally curved bars terminating at their upper ends in eyes 6. Numerals 7 denote hooks to engage over the top of the back of the seat as indicated in Figure 1 and have eyes 8 and straps 9 engaged with eyes 6 and 8 and may be adjusted depending upon the size and the back of the seat so that the bars 5 may be mounted as indicated to advantage in Figure 1. On intermediate portions of the bars 5 there is fixed a hinged bracket structure comprising a cross plate 10 with perpendicular ears 11 at the ends thereof in which are rotatably mounted a shaft 12 which is anchored on a solid seat 14. Links 15 are pivotally connected with side portions of the seat 14 and are pivotally connected With arm rest rods 16 which are pivoted to ears 17 protruding from the bars 5 above the hinge bracket structure. An elongated guide 18 is mounted on the bottom of the seat and has an adjustable set screw 19 mounted in one of a plurality of openings provided therein for function as a stop in connection with a substantially U-shaped seat supporting bail 20, the top portion of which extends through the loop guide 18 and the ends of which are inturned as indicated at 21 and rockable in ears 22 protruding from the bars 5 adjacent their lower ends. Arm rests 23 are fixed on the rods 16 and have suitable straps 24 associated therewith so that the child may be strapped in the seat.

It is thought that the construction, utility and advantages of this invention will now be quite apparent to those skilled in this art without a more detailed description thereof.

The present embodiment of the invention has been described in considerable detail merely for the purposes of exemplification since in actual practice it attains the features of advantage enumerated as desirable in the statement of the invention and the above description.

It will be apparent that changes in the details of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed or sacrificing any of its advantages.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is:

A collapsible auxiliary seat comprising a pair of elongated flat longitudinally curved bars, a pair of hooks, adjustable straps connecting the hooks to the upper ends of the bars, a seat pivotally connected to inter- 95 mediate parts of the bars, a pair of arm rests hingedly connected to the bars above the seat, links having their upper ends pivotally connected to outer portions of the arm rests and their lower ends pivotally connected to the seat, a seat supporting bail pivotally connected to the lower part of the bars, a guide attached to the under face of the seat and through which the bight of the bail passes.-

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

EDEN BLAKELOCK.
